Residential Services
A home in the community
Prosper Fingal residential services support adults with an intellectual disability to live in community homes with dignity, choice, safety and belonging.
Your home
Home should feel like home
Residential support is about more than a building. It should help each resident have a good everyday life, make choices and be part of their local community.
The type and level of support depend on the person’s assessed needs and agreed plan.
In simple words
You live in a house in the community. Staff support you with the things you need help with.
You should be listened to and involved in decisions about your home and your life.

Support is individual. It may change over time.

Community life

Your support plan
Support should be agreed with you
What matters to you
Your routines, relationships, interests, culture, communication and future goals should be understood.
What support you need
Assessments and planning identify the help required to support health, wellbeing, safety and independence.
How support is reviewed
You should be involved when the plan is reviewed, and changes should be explained clearly.
Accessing residential support
An assessment and HSE approval are required
Residential places are not allocated through a simple online booking. Access depends on eligibility, assessed need, the ability to provide safe and appropriate support, HSE approval, funding and available resources.
Questions
Residential service questions
Can I choose where I live?
Your wishes should be heard and considered. Options also depend on assessed needs, compatibility, safety, HSE approval and available homes or resources.
Can I keep seeing my family and friends?
Important relationships should be supported. Your preferences, privacy and any agreed safety needs are part of planning.
What if I am unhappy about something in my home?
Tell a staff member, manager, advocate or trusted person. You can ask for help to give feedback or make a complaint. Immediate safeguarding concerns should be reported without delay.
